Career Boosting Resolutions for Professional Growth in 2020

VICTORIA, Australia - Jan. 10, 2020 - PRLog -- Traditionally, people around the world write their resolutions before the start of a new year. Because it is believed that the start of the New Year breeds a good opportunity for you to set new plans. On the other hand, many people still find it intimidating to write resolutions for the fear of not being able to fulfil it. But, do not also forget that resolutions are meant to be a guide rather than a burden.

Remove your bad habits.

Surely, we all have our fair share of bad work habits that we wanted to get rid of (https://www.siliconrepublic.com/advice/bad-habits-work-success). It could be overworking, skipping lunch breaks, stressing yourself out, or other things that make you feel bad. It'll be hard, but try to slowly remove these bad habits that slow you down and hinders your professional growth.

Develop your own stress-busting techniques.

Cultivate your sense of self-awareness.

Acknowledging your strengths, weaknesses, needs, and goals is a tremendous professional asset. Knowing what you can, what you can't, and what to improve will give you extra encouragement to work harder.

Take the plunge, take the risk.

Do not be afraid to take a risk, most importantly if it will personally be good for you. Just like how the saying goes, "if your dream doesn't scare you, it isn't big enough", let fear be the basis of how big your goal is.

Develop a new skill.

There is so much to learn about in a tech-driven business world that constantly evolves. Sticking only to your primary field of expertise is no longer enough while other people around you develop a new skill or two. Remember that learning will never get out of style.

Honour your resolutions.

Listing your resolutions is already one huge step ahead of the improvements that you want to accomplish. But, pushing them forward and actually honouring them could be another big leap for you, your career advancement, and self-growth.
